Situated in West Wickham, we are a large special education needs school which caters to pupils with a range of learning needs. Our reputation is far reaching, where we are celebrated for being an aspirational and pupil centred school. This is underpinned through an excellent curriculum offer as well as wider support and interventions that help develop the full potential of all our pupils. At Glebe, we believe that this approach is fundamental for a child’s success, as the development of character sits firmly alongside academic achievement for life-long success.

It is our vision to ensure that we prepare all of our pupils to live life independently, responsibly and successfully and this is reflected through our curriculum offer. Subjects such as Sport, Music, Drama, Art and Food Technology sit alongside the core subjects of English, Maths and Science. This is supported with a variety of extracurricular activities, clubs and therapeutic support. As a result of this, our pupils enjoy being at Glebe and consequently make exceptional progress from their starting points.
